Jayson Tatum Jr. stood on the sideline wearing green shorts and holding a Nike Elite basketball with his head tilted slightly as he gazed ahead.

The five-year-old son of Celtics star Jayson Tatum had his first basketball practice on Monday night, according to a post on his father’s Instagram story.

The elder Tatum was there too, pictured standing with his son near the hoop.

Tatum Jr., whose nickname is Deuce, has been a fixture at Celtics games for a while now. His father affectionately called him “the real superstar in Boston” in an interview with The Boston Globe in October.
